The cinematic trailer of Tarisland sets the mood for the launch:
The exclusive class mechanics of the cunning Shadow Bladeslinger are energy and poison. Casting some class abilities consumes energy, which regenerates automatically at a rate of ten units per second.
By using some class skills in combat, the poison level can be increased. When the poison level meets a certain requirement, Poison Spike is replaced by Deadly Poison. Casting Deadly Poison deals damage over time to the target.
Whether movement SPEED boost, HP regeneration, interrupting, dodging, or stealth – the variety of ultimate skills is also commendable for the Shadow Bladeslinger.
Here you can see gameplay of the Shadow Bladeslinger class:
The class abilities of Duel
- Assault: Attack the target and deal a small amount of physical damage. If the Roulette Showdown points to the weakness, the inflicted damage increases. When the target is hit, the Roulette Showdown moves 1 slot clockwise. Cooldown: 3 seconds.
- Quick Strike: Launch a lightning attack on the target and deal moderate physical damage. If the Roulette Showdown points to the weakness, the inflicted damage increases. Cooldown: 9 seconds.
- Wrathful Attack: Launch a madness attack on the target and deal massive physical damage. If the Roulette Showdown points to the weakness, the inflicted damage increases. When the target is hit, the Roulette Showdown moves 1 slot clockwise. Cooldown: 18 seconds.
- Fury Throw: Throw a throwing blade at the target and deal physical damage. If the Roulette Showdown points to the weakness, the inflicted damage increases. When the target is hit, the Roulette Showdown shifts 1 slot clockwise and every position there is a weakness. Cooldown: 72 seconds.
- Chaos Blades: Become the shadow and attack nearby enemies randomly 5 times within a certain time period, dealing physical damage each time. The skill targets various units, and if the same unit is hit more than once, the subsequent damage is reduced by 90%. You cannot move while using the skill. Cooldown: 40 seconds.
- Combat Fanatic: Unleash your will to fight and increase your ATT for a certain period. The cooldown of all skills except basic attacks and [Fury Throw] gets reduced.
The exclusive class mechanic of Duel Shadow Bladeslinger is Roulette Showdown. Each time Assault, Quick Strike, Wrathful Attack, or Fury Throw successfully hits the target in combat, the Roulette Showdown shifts one slot clockwise. If it points to a weakness, the damage dealt by the aforementioned skills is significantly increased.
Initially, the 12 o’clock direction of the Roulette Showdown is the default weakness, and you can apply certain skills to add additional weaknesses to the Roulette.
Furthermore, the talent tree of the Duel Shadow Bladeslinger offers numerous options, such as reducing the cooldown of skills, enlarging weaknesses in the Roulette Showdown, and much more, providing players with more strategic options and flexibility in combat.
